Free Range Thanksgiving 2007

Good Food, Good Art, Good Politics, and Good Times

With the harvest of local farmers and plays of local playwrights, this community feast brings together 100 artists, farmers, food activists, and friends to break bread together and to perform – table by table — 10 short plays written for the occasion. There are 10 tables in all – with a director at each one to help orchestrate the rehearsal shenanigans. Free Range Thanksgiving is an annual celebration of what we all make – together.
